+Subject: [PATCH] Define in_* structs for non-glibc system libs
+
+These defines and structs are required to be coming from
+userspace netinet/in.h, which is being overridden in klibc
+however, libc-compat.h from kernel is only written keeping
+glibc in mind, and does not provide adequate guards for musl
+to infer that these structs should be defined in linux/in.h
